Chapter 174: Drinking Tea in the Anle Pavilion
"It's getting late, just say some fairy words, and the capital has seen and heard." The slightly fat storyteller walked out, shook his folding fan, and fanned his slightly sweaty face, "Give you a cool listen." ”
There was a familiar chief advisor at the bottom:
"What is the gentleman talking about today?"
"Some time ago, everyone had heard about the affairs of the Taiwei Mansion, and the government also issued an announcement to tell what was going on." Mr. Storyteller said, "Yesterday afternoon, the demon who deceived the captain with demon magic and evil magic has been caught by the official, and it is also embarrassing to say that the dignified captain is so mediocre in his old age. ”
"What does the demon look like?"
"It's not three heads and six arms, it's not a tiger's back and a bear's waist, it's just a strange man in the rivers and lakes who knows how to demons, he is short and thin, and he has a goatee. I heard that tomorrow morning will be pulled to the streets, and I should also come to our place for a walk, and if you want to take a look, you can just put up a bench and sit on the side of the street. The storyteller said, but his eyes widened, and his tone became strange, as if to bring out some kind of atmosphere that attracted attention in a different way—
"Don't think that this person is not good-looking, so you look down on him!"
Sure enough, the people stopped talking, but stared at him.
The storyteller was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and it could be seen that this was also his ability to get money, and then he snorted coldly: "That demon can deceive the Taiwei around, and in the capital and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he dares to perform demon magic so blatantly without being discovered by the priests and masters, how can he not have some ability?" ”
It was suddenly a little quieter down there.
"Grapevine!" Mr. Storyteller lowered his voice, "I heard that after the demon escaped, it was the national teacher who sent his subordinates to the masters of the Juxian Mansion to go out, so I knew where he fled." Later, the masters of Juxian Mansion and Wu Dewei and the forbidden army searched together, but he killed many people before he was arrested. ”
"That's amazing!"
There was immediate surprise at the bottom.
On the one hand, everyone is proud at the same time, but also recognizes the strength of the imperial court, and feels that the royal road is high, even the Emperor Buddha has to give way, and on the other hand, he also fully trusts the ability of Juxian Mansion, Wu Dewei and the forbidden army, and feels that no matter how high the ability of the master of the rivers and lakes is, such a big battle in the imperial court, it should be very easy to catch him, so he was surprised.
To a certain extent, this also explains the thinking of the people of Changjing at this time.
The god of troubled times in the prosperous government.
"So the villain here's a word of advice, tomorrow the government will escort that person to patrol the streets, and someone may throw stones and vegetable leaves at him, trying to play a good trick, don't do this! It's not that the person who was detained by the government could still make any waves, but this kind of demon, who knows if he has any other means? If the big guy gets into trouble, he can't get it, right? After the storyteller finished speaking, he hurriedly lowered his voice and put on a weak posture, "Of course, this is just the villain's experience in telling stories for many years, and it's just the villain's advice to you!" After you spend money, you are the villain's food and clothing parents, and the villain naturally can't let you guest officials suffer a loss, right? ”
There was a round of applause from below.
The stage was clanging.
The guests were happy in their hearts, but they didn't think about it, and when they were happy, they threw a few coins at the top.
The storyteller thanked him and persuaded again: "But don't say it to you, this kind of demon, the government must wish that he would be smashed by the common people with more stones and vegetable leaves, if the villain is here to persuade you not to spread such a thing, the government will definitely not be happy to hear it." ”
The implication is to risk offending the government to think about everyone.
There was another clanging on the stage.
Song You smiled.
This gentleman is very capable.
It can be heard that most of what he said is false, or it is speculation, and even the officers and soldiers went to arrest the demon and broke a lot of people, most of which is also false, but Song You still finds it interesting to hear.
Raise your glass of tea and look out.
It was already dark in Changjing, and although there were lights, they were far less bright than those in later generations, and far worse than the streets in Dongcheng. The street was pitch black, and the lights in the house were like beans, but I could barely see, like the night of the power outage in the countryside in the previous life, and the people walking around the street were all dark shadows.
There are a lot of people leaning on the door of the teahouse, rubbing the fairy ghost words of Mr. Storyteller to spend the summer time.
It's okay to have this kind of entertainment.
It's just that the tea is a little bitter.
I heard that there is a teahouse in Changjing, called Anle House, tea art is a must in Changjing, and it is also the pioneer of the tea ceremony today, I don't know where it is, and how much silver money it costs to drink in the afternoon.
The Taoist is very puffy at this time.
"That Taiwei is old and mediocre, and his son is excessive, so that he is lawless and reckless in Changjing, and now he is stained with demon law, and it is a taboo in the court, originally according to me, the Taiwei family should be expelled from the capital, but until now His Majesty has no such meaning, in the eyes of the kings, what is the reason?"
"Naturally, the Chang family and the queen have the same surname."
"Hehe, I don't think it'......"
"What's that reasoning?"
"All the kings know that the punishment of the master in the Taiwei Ya is the immortal descending to earth, but they forgot, the fairy also said when he left, if the Ya Nei and the housekeeper have a good life and good deeds in the future, they will come to Changjing in the future, and they will be able to return to normal when they hear about their good deeds, if they are expelled from the capital, the gods will come back in the future, where will they go to find them?"
"The gods want to find it, how can they not find it?"
The voices in the teahouse were still here and there, and it was much more casual than Goolan, and the Taoist had already finished his tea and got up to leave.
At the end of May, in the middle of summer, the sky is full of stars.
Pedestrians walk in it as if they don't notice.
As soon as I approached the door of the house, I saw a figure jumping down from the window on the second floor, falling directly to the ground, and then stumbling up and running away.
The night was dim, and I bumped into a lot of pedestrians.
There was a voice of discontent in the night.
The Taoist didn't care, and walked straight home.
The house was darker than outside, and as soon as the oil lamp was lit, a three-flowered cat showed its head at the staircase, stared at him and said, "Taoist, someone came to our house just now to steal something." ”
"Did Sanhua Niangniang beat him away?"
"Sanhua Niangniang just wanted to beat him away, but he jumped out of the window and ran away."
"That must have been the Sanhua lady who scared him away!"
"Really?"
The cat stared at him with round eyes.
"Maybe."
The Taoist took the oil lamp and went to the inner room to fetch water and wash.
Sanhua Cat immediately came down the stairs and followed him, looking up at him: "Is that person here to steal our money?" ”
"Let's steal the painting."
"Oh......"
The cat seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sanhua Niangniang, you say ......"
"Sanhua Niangniang, I said ......"
"I've been rich recently, how about I take Sanhua Niangniang to Anle Hall for a cup of tea?" The Taoist asked as he washed up.
"Is it bitter chirping water?"
"The best tea in Changjing."
The cat stared at him for a moment before asking, "How much does it cost?" ”
The Taoist was smiling while washing his face.
……
The Taoist began to open the door.
As he thought, after the door had been closed for so long, many people already knew his attitude, and as he thought, there were still people who came to the door to ask for a visit.
These people are not necessarily thick-skinned dignitaries in the city, and some are just curious, or simple-minded, some have not been here these days, so they don't know that he has been closed for nearly half a month, and some are indeed simply coming to him to exorcise evil spirits and get rid of rats.
The Taoist people received them one by one.
However, at this time, he has removed the shop sign of exorcism and demon subjugation, if it is really the common people who come to him to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons, and they really need help, then he will go on a trip, if the dignitaries want to use this to climb the relationship, in order to prevent too many such things from coping with it in the future, the Taoist people almost all refuse politely, and ask them to find the folk masters in Changjing.
As for those who came to ask Sanhua Niangniang to get rid of the rats, for the sake of Sanhua Niangniang's happiness, almost no Taoist refused. For dignitaries, the price is still the same as before, five hundred dollars at a time.
There are a lot of tedious things, but they are not as pure as they imagined.
A few days later, in the heat of the day.
Completely into the dog days.
Song You picked a cooler morning, changed into ordinary clothes, took the little girl, and arrived at the Anle Hall in Dongcheng early.
Although it was early at this time, there were many people in the museum.
Looking at the clothes are very luxurious, I think most of them are rich and noble.
The guy was very enthusiastic and introduced to him:
"The guest officer is not only the first time to come, but also came here early in the morning, the small one recommended Chang Miaochun to the guest officer, the tea is fragrant, the entrance is fresh, the most refreshing, the guest officer is in good spirits all day long. If it was half an afternoon, I wouldn't dare to recommend this pot of tea to the guest officer, and I couldn't sleep at night after drinking it. ”
"How much?"
"It's not expensive, three hundred dollars a pot, and I'll give you a plate of fruit."
"Anything else?"
"I recommend the immortal to the guest officer, this tea has been widely popular recently, its tea fragrance is light and long, leisurely and leisurely taste a pot, like a fairy in the mountains, only two hundred dollars a pot, do not send fruit." The guy said with a smile, "It's quiet at this time, if the guest officer wants it, he will ask the best tea doctor in the store to brew it for the guest officer." ”
"Those guys over there are drinking ......"
"Ouch, that's the signboard of our store, the green bamboo reward that the nobles all like, is the shopkeeper personally brewing tea and painting flowers, four hundred dollars a lamp, the taste and viewing are a must." The guy said, "If only the old shopkeeper had brewed it himself." The old shopkeeper is old, and he has changed to a new shopkeeper, but the new shopkeeper is the eldest son of the old shopkeeper, and he is dressed in tea art, which is really in the same vein, not bad at all. ”
Every time she talked about money, the little girl frowned.
But it makes Sanhua Niangniang feel distressed.
"I like this."
"Some?"
"Two."
"But do you want some fruit?"
"Do you have a recommendation?"
"The dried plums, the best dried meat, osmanthus cakes, and green jade dumplings made by the small shop themselves are all sold well, and they can be put together in several pieces, and the reputation of the small shop is guaranteed, and they will never charge money indiscriminately."
"I want a plate of dried meat, and I will put together a plate of the rest."
"Okay!"
The man was very diligent and left immediately.
Sanhua Niangniang's white brows have a few more small wrinkles, which makes people want to laugh and smooth her out.
It's probably because I have endured too much hardship and become a habit, so I don't realize that poverty and lack of money are actually two different things, and Taoists only have poor times, and rarely have a lack of money.
